In the early hours of this morning an armed man with two kitchen knives attempted to break in to Paris Hilton's home when she was sleeping. The security cameras and alarm system were alerted and the police immediately came to the house and arrested the intruder who was attempting to break a window when they arrived. Paris is naturally shaken by the events but is unharmed and well.

Hilton's home also was targeted in the Bling Ring case. Prosecutors alleged that from October 2008 through August of 2009, a gang of young men and women broke into the homes of young celebrities around Hollywood, stealing jewelry and luxury items.

Hilton and actress Lindsay Lohan provided testimony before a grand jury in that case.

In December 2007, an estimated $2 million worth of jewelry and other items were taken from the home. She was not home at the time of that break-in.
